PRESS-FIT MACHINES A WIDE RANGE OF PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT FOR COMPLIANT PIN CONNECTOR TECHNOLOGY TE APPLICATION TOOLING /// PRESS-FIT MACHINES LINE OF PRESS-FIT MACHINES Family of Press-fit Machines helps prevent future operator errors by reusing proven data. TE Connectivity boasts a wide range of servo presses designed to insert compliant pin connectors into Force Monitoring for Quality Assurance printed circuit boards. Our family of machines are The most popular feature associated with compliant highly customizable and sure to fit your particular pin technology is the fact that it is solder free. The pro- application need. cessing of compliant pin connectors oeff rs signicfi ant processing advantages, too. Especially because the Simple Programming and Automatic Setup press force can be closely monitored in real time and it Each press is programmed and run via a dedicated PC. can be immediately evident if there is a problem such All programs, connectors, board layouts, press profiles, as a bent pin, an oversized PCB hole, an incorrectly tool part numbers, etc. can be stored on the computer, positioned connector, or an error during the press so future applications can be easily adapted from cycle. This process quality assurance provides peace existing programs. Little programming knowledge is of mind for everyone and can improve yield while required to take advantage of this versatility and it cutting costs. SENSIPRESS TECHNOLOGY A SENSIBLE SOLUTION TO REDUCING PC BOARD DAMAGE DUE TO BENT PINS IN CONNECTOR PRESS FIT APPLICATIONS As the industry moves to high-performance connectors with higher pin densities and smaller pin tails, overall seating forces are getting smaller and the ability to detect bent pins at the early stage of the pressing cycle is becoming more challenging. TE Connectivitys SensiPress technology has enhanced low force performance by reducing mechanical noise, thereby increasing accuracy, reducing scrap and simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance. The high sensitivity measurement capabilities of SensiPress technology enables TE Connector press fit machines to more accurately measure press force and halt the seating cycle if it detects early contact with the SensiPress Technology seating tool, indicating that one or more pins are bent or out of alignment. 25 Cut Through the Clutter for More Accurate 20 Pin Detection 15 When only three pounds of force can crush small pins, excessive force noise can make detecting a defective 10 pin extremely challenging. With SensiPress technology SensiPress detects bent pin and cancels press cycle we optimized our load cell positioning by isolating 5 the force sensors to eliminate excessive force noise, making it easier to detect bent pins and stop the press cycle before damaging expensive PC boards. lbs.
